Storms and Power Outages

Countdown to the Holidays :)

BeesWax candles, which is one of my fav things, making an emerg kit because here the power goes out every time it storms. 

Basic Emergency Kit Items

Easy to carry
Think of ways that you can pack your emergency kit so that you and those on your emergency plan can easily take the items with you, if necessary

Water
Two litres of water per person per day (Include small bottles that can be carried easily in case of an evacuation order)

Food
That won't spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods (remember to replace the food and water once a year)

Manual can opener

Flashlight and batteries

Battery-powered or wind-up radio

Extra batteries

First aid kit

Special needs items
Prescription medications, infant formula or equipment for people with disabilities

Extra keys for your car and house

Cash
Include smaller bills, such as $10 bills (travelers cheques are also useful) and change for payphones

Emergency plan
Include a copy of it and ensure it contains in-town and out-of-town contact information

The Box is sacred, it's all the letters between my husband and I when he was in Afghanistan for 7 months. I was going through it to see if anything can be put in his military scrapbook. 

 Making my own advent calendar for my daughter for next year. Just need to come up with ideas to fill the envelopes :)
